A second suspect has been arrested in connection with a shooting that left a 41-year-old man dead in Linda Vista two years ago, authorities said Thursday.
Arturo Diaz, 25, taken into custody Wednesday during a City Heights traffic stop, is suspected of taking part in the July 24, 2022 killing of Johnny Ramon Ramirez, according to San Diego police.
Shortly after 5 a.m. that day, patrol officers in the 2200 block of Ulric Street found Ramirez, of San Diego, suffering from a gunshot wound to his upper back, Lt. Steve Shebloski said. The victim died at the scene.
“San Diego police homicide detectives were called to the scene and over the past year and a half have continued to investigate this incident,” Shebloski said. The step, he said, included following leads, processing and examining physical evidence, obtaining surveillance video and interviewing witnesses.
Last October, detectives arrested Eduardo Vasquez, 25, of San Diego. Both Vasquez and Diaz have been booked on suspicion of murder.
Police have released no suspected motive for the shooting and have not disclosed what relationships, if any, the victim and suspects might have had with each other.
